I guess I didn't take offense to anything they did. Haven't talked to anyone that thought their behavior was off personally.

I have talked to quite a few folks that get ticked off because people in the class don't pay attention and ask some really stupid questions. But hey, some folks might not like the way I will teach my class either, because I don't like folks who talk amongst themselves during class or don't pay attention, and then make me repeat stuff I just said. Can't please everyone.

I did notice that the two seemed to imply that even after the class portion they taught and all the material they went over, that they are sure to get calls about one thing or another, and they will have to refer folks to the website that has the info on it. I guess some folks will be ticked off when they are told to look on the website instead of asking the CHL staff to give them the answer so they don't have to spend their own time looking it up an learning it. I certainly hope folks in the class paid attention to that statement she made.

Well if his dad is a preacher, then I know who he is because we have talked quite a bit during breaks, ect.

Don't get too weirded out.

What is so weird about the thread?

Texas1234,

What irritated you so much about what they did? I don't recall them being rude to anyone in particular.

I do recall them basically telling people to shut up and quit talking amongst themselves before the presentation was finished. I do recall them getting a bit flustered when people asked the same question that was just asked or when material was just covered.

I do think some folks ask questions just to hear themselves talk, or they aren't paying attention to what the heck is going on in the class.

Heck some of the stuff being asked makes me mad. This stuff ain't rocket science, most of it we should already know if we are sitting in the class.

Anyway, only one more day of classroom, and a couple of hours on the range.

Pt145,

Is your dad a preacher?

They are encouraging the electronic prints because they have a 98 percent acceptance rate.

However, they realize that there are places where electronic aren't available yet such. They also realize that there are times when electronic prints don't work as well.

So if your still doing paper prints or plan on doing paper prints your good to do, probably for several years if not longer.

One thing that did come across in their presentation is that when things are done electronically, whether it is the application process, the affidavids, or whatever it is generally faster, and more accurate than processing paperwork.

Welcome to the electronic age. Feds, and state govs are moving that way with just about everything. I don't think the trend will turn back to paper.

Yes,

The facility is nice, plenty of parking and some places you can walk to and eat during lunch. Yesterday we didn't have tables, but today they rearranged and we had them. AC is good. They will let you adjust it if folks need it. They have plenty of snacks and drinks with an honor system in a cigar box.

We are staying at the LaQuinta. It is only about 3 minutes from the Chamber building where the classes are held. It is quite so far. The property is not a new one, but it is clean and nice. The staff are nice and friendly. No complains by me.

The class is going fine. There are some folks that ask way to many questions. I honestly don't think that some of them even read through the material that was sent to us, and some don't know the CHL laws at all it seems. Makes me wonder how the heck they are actually going to teach this stuff.

The DPS instructors are great. The legal staff was pretty good for what they have to do, very boring stuff, and they really can't give you answers to some questions. The ladies from the CHL department were good, folks just needed to listen to them better as they covered the material well, but some folks either didn't get it, didn't listen or didn't read.

The Captain today was a hoot, kept stuff flowing, and kept the class interesting.

All in all, things are good. From the comments of the main instructor, it appears this will be the new home of the CHL instructor school.
